Populating self-hosted Lemmy instance (feddit.de)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/selfhosted

Hello!

I've been thinking about hosting my own Lemmy instance, but wonder if there's an easy way to federate with other communities/instances. I like to browse the "All" tab, but that tab would be empty on a self-hosted instance I imagine.

Is there a way to get all communities of certain instances in my All feed? Or do I have to search up each individual community manually once?

If you do happen to release an alpha publicly, please do be sure to post it somewhere here - I'd love to take a look at it!

I'll keep you in mind when I do that. I've got some free time the next couple days to work on it, so I'm hoping to have something by then. So far the API calls I've implemented are Search, ResolveObject, GetSite, GetFederatedInstances (Though it's basically GetSite), GetPosts, Login, ListCommunities, FollowCommunity

So, you know, pretty far from doing much practical work. But not bad at getting information about an instance. I want to at least have all the basic post/comment/community functionality in before I release anything. Also, I think I want to restructure what I have into a better format. Don't quite like how I set it up.
